Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. At least half of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. No further work was needed

This American Professional II Stratocaster in Natural Roasted Pine feels like the kind of instrument you bond with instantly—warm, lively, and full of character. Its roasted pine body has a resonant, almost airy responsiveness, and the satin-finished Deep “C” maple neck makes every chord glide with comforting familiarity. The trio of V-Mod II single-coils delivers that classic Strat sparkle with modern clarity, while the 2-point tremolo adds a smooth, expressive touch that invites you to play just a little longer. Even the small details, from the bone nut to the aged plastic knobs, give it a sense of craft and care. It’s the kind of guitar that feels less like a purchase and more like a long-term musical investment—reliable, inspiring, and ready for years of creativity!

 

From Fender

The American Professional II Stratocaster® draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player.

 

Our popular Deep "C" neck now sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod II Stratocaster single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while retaining bell-like chime and warmth. An upgraded 2-point tremolo with a cold-rolled steel block increases sustain, clarity and high-end sparkle.

 

The American Pro II Stratocaster delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you'll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.
